Falling Needles Family Fest Day

Falling Needles Family Fest Day is observed annually 30th.

This day is a reminder for those of us who enjoyed a live Christmas tree

over the holidays to clean it up and recycle it.

Since a few years we have a artificial tree, because the needles

of the real one started to fall the day we put it up!

And we leave it in our living room

until  the kids have to go to school again in January!

As I am Dutch I eat pepernoten at Sint Nocolaas.
We have pepernoten and kruidnoten, but most people call them both pepernoten.

Chocolate Covered Anything Day

 On December 16, we’ll all be celebrating National Chocolate Covered Anything Day.

This is the day you’ve been waiting for.

All those times when you wondered,

“What would this taste like dipped in chocolate?”

can now officially be answered.

Maybe you’re into the basics, like chocolate covered fruit or cookies,

but you rarely take the time to dip these ingredients.

Or, perhaps you’re a bit more adventurous and are looking to try out

a new chocolate-encased dish. (French fries? Fish sticks?)

Candy Day

The story of candy begins in India.

Between the 6th and 4th centuries BC, the Persians and Greeks learned

that the people in India had, what they called, reeds that make honey without bees.

These reeds were actually sugarcane, which is indigenous to Southeast Asia.

Ancient Indians would boil sugarcane juice, turning it into individual pieces of sugar,

which they called “khanda.”

Autumnal Equinox Day

Autumnal Equinox – Fall Equinox

Equinoxes are opposite on either side of the equator,

so the autumnal (fall) equinox in the Northern Hemisphere

is the spring (vernal) equinox

in the Southern Hemisphere and vice versa.

On the two equinoxes every year the Sun shines directly on the Equator

and the length of day and night is nearly equal – but not exactly.

The September equinox marks the moment the Sun crosses the celestial equator

– the imaginary line in the sky above the Earth’s equator – 

from north to south and vice versa in March.

Inchie Lipstick Day

I never use lipstick, but I do like all the nice colours

and the smooth look of a brand new lipstick!

Throughout the ages, controversy has surrounded lipstick.

British Parliament banned it in 1770 calling it a devilish attempt

to trick men into marriage. They likened it to witchcraft.

Lipstick has been known to contain poisonous materials.

It is said Sarah Bernhardt created a scandal by applying “lip rouge” in public.

Queen Victoria considered it impolite, yet Winston Churchill thought

it was an excellent morale booster during WWII

and George Washington supposedly was a lipstick wearer.

US Postage Stamp Day

On July 1, National U.S. Postage Stamp Day recognizes

the ease and simplicity with which we can send and receive mail. 

A stamp represents payment for the delivery of a letter or a package.  

The United States issued its first postage stamp on July 1, 1847.

At that time, stamps were not required. 

A letter could be mailed without a stamp and delivery paid for by the recipient. 

In 1855, the postage stamp became mandatory.

Inchie - Draw a Picture of a Bird Day

Origin of "Draw a Picture of a Bird Day":

On April,1943, 7 year old Dorie Cooper visited her uncle in the hospital.

He had been injured in WWII, having lost his leg to a land mine.

She asked him to draw a picture of a bird.

He did, and she teased him saying it wasn't a very good picture,

but she would hang it in her room. This lifted his spirits.

Three years later, Dorie was struck and killed by a car.

At her funeral there were many bird pictures and drawings,

prompting the creation of this day.
